Country: US /
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon California
Winery: Von Strasser / Diamond Mountain District
The winery’s basic Cab, with no vineyard designation, shares the qualities of the more expensive bottlings. It’s dry and tannic and ultraconcentrated in varietal character, with explosive cassis, cherry and new oak flavors. Impresses now for its luxurious mouthfeel, and should develop through 2013.
